Thanks for the question PackersBearsFan3. This is a low amplitude thrust technique used to mobilize the thoracic spine. Could be used to increase range of motion where stiffness dominates, or to decrease pain.
biomechanically... yes it does matter which way you go. if your goal was to mobilize a fixated segment you need to drive in the direction of the facet joint on the side of the fixation P-A I-S. otherwise your'e just smashing them together making noise
+Bronson Taala Absolutely, I'm an osteopathic student so I don't know how chiropractic or PT people do it but it definitely matters. You're trying to sidebend the segment the other way to straighten it out. If it's a type II with a single segment sidebent and rotated the same way you put the thrust on the prominent transverse and rotate to the left in this case because it's sidebent and rotated right. Heh in osteopathic medicine this technique is generally known as the "Texas Twist", probably because it originated at UNT TCOM I might presume. My school generally prefers the Kirksville Krunch.

Excellent technic
Also called butterfly 🦋
U are very good
